La Petite Ferme | Baboon Rock Grenache | 2020
La Petite Ferme | Baboon Rock Grenache | 2020
We love a lighter red wine that can be best enjoyed slightly chilled to beat the Hong Kong heat. This Grenache perfectly delivers and comes with enough structure to pair well with a variety of savoury dishes.
The Baboon Rock label pays homage to a troop of baboons that can often be found exploring the La Petite Ferme property and surrounding area - we’ve heard the Chardonnay grapes are their favorite!
Nose & palate
Juicy red cherry and pomegranate. A bright line of acidity follows through on a light, fresh finish.
Pairing
A fantastic wine to transition from late afternoon to early evening during an all day braai or summer barbeque.
About La Petite Ferme
Having worked at wineries in France, California and Australia, winemaker Wikus Pretorius brought considerable expertise to the cellar when he joined La Petite Ferme in 2015.
The cellar harvests fruit from the 17 hectares of vineyard surrounding the boutique hotel, but Pretorius also works with selected vineyard sites across the Cape winelands, allowing unique terroirs to add complexity to his range of remarkable single varietal wines.
“Franschhoek is a lovely valley, with wonderful vineyards, but there are so many great vineyard sites out there that we felt it best to tap into the diversity of the Cape winelands,” explains Pretorius. “But regardless of where the grapes are from, finesse and elegance are the hallmarks of all my wines.”
